It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…

That’s why my favorite composer is Edgard Varèse

Dune is one of my favorite books. Herbert is clear on this, Paul is exploiting the fremen. The Bene Geserat planted the savior myth. Their goals align, mostly, but he can’t really control them, just aim them and pull the trigger.
